In this program, students investigate the possibility that
the ancient ruins of Stonehenge could have been used by
its builders as a gigantic astronomical observatory and calendar.
By actively formulating and testing their own hypotheses in the
planetarium, the students learn how astronomer Gerald Hawkins
went about discovering Stonehenge's probable function.
Along the way, they learn a lot about apparent stellar, solar,
and lunar motion. Classroom activities include making a
Solar Motion Demonstrator and recording sunrise/sunset positions.
